Contextual Overview

⁸ One day Elisha went to Shunem, where an important woman lived. She begged Elisha to stay and eat. So every time Elisha passed by, he stopped there to eat. ⁹ The woman said to her husband, "I know that this is a holy man of God who passes by our house all the time. ¹⁰ Let's make a small room on the roof and put a bed in the room for him. We can put a table, a chair, and a lampstand there. Then when he comes by, he can stay there." ¹¹ One day Elisha came to the woman's house. After he went to his room and rested, ¹² he said to his servant Gehazi, "Call the Shunammite woman." When the servant had called her, she stood in front of him. ¹³ Elisha had told his servant, "Now say to her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak to the king or the commander of the army for you?'" She answered, "I live among my own people." ¹⁴ Elisha said to Gehazi, "But what can we do for her?" He answered, "She has no son, and her husband is old." ¹⁵ Then Elisha said to Gehazi, "Call her." When he called her, she stood in the doorway. ¹⁶ Then Elisha said, "About this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms." The woman said, "No, master, man of God, don't lie to me, your servant!" ¹⁷ But the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son at that time the next year, just as Elisha had told her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said to Gehazi his servant,.... Who attended him wherever he went, and ministered to him, and lay very probably in the same chamber with him; he might be one of the sons of the prophets:

call this Shunammite; tell her I desire to speak with her:

and when he had called her, she stood before him; at the door of the chamber, in great reverence of him, and with much humility, waiting to hear what he had to say to her: this must be understood after what had further passed between Elisha and Gehazi, and between Gehazi and the woman, who returned to his master, and acquainted him with what she had said to him, upon which he was sent to call her, and she came.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 4:12. Gehazi his servant — This is the first time we hear of this very indifferent character.
